Week 12: This Is The End

.............and we're done (almost)! I hope everyone had as much fun in this course as I did. If this is any indication of what the rest of my degree in Computer Science will be like, I can't wait for what else is in store for me. We've yet to hand in Assignment 3 and I can't wait to complete it. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who enjoys problem solving and critical thinking, whether they are in Computer Science or not. Danny has been a great lecturer and support throughout the duration of this course, and I hope I will be able to TA alongside him at some point in my time at UofT. If there was a single thing I would have the power to change about my experience with CSC148 this semester, I would change the class time (because seriously, when you're a commuter student every single day actually starts 2 and a half hours before your first class). But even though it was annoying having to wake up early to attend this class I still enjoyed it. Some moments that stand out from this course were (play this song while you read the next few lines)

• Making a human binary tree in class 
• Danny's two-page long introduction to tic-tac-toe for Assignment 1
• Volunteering to answer a question in class without having listened to anything prior to the question, but Danny still prompting me in the right direction even though I was totally wrong
• Working on Minimax for three consecutive days having made no progress, but finally getting it on the fourth day
• Danny's use of the turtle module to demonstrate recursion
• Danny bringing in a stuffed animal to demonstrate the way an arrow changes direction on command

And finally, I would like to thank my greatest support throughout this whole course. Having stayed by me for all of CSC108 and CSC148, we've created a unique bond. Even though sometimes we disagree and other times I can't stand you, I really appreciate all of your help. I'll never forget our late-night sessions and even all that time you spent yelling at me for making stupid mistakes.
Thank you.
